Default RX 330 suspension lube points

Before I lie down on the garage floor, I wanted to ask if there are grease nipples on any of the suspension joints like on an old 4x4. Or is it the kind you just spray silicone lube on the rubber/polyurethane bushings? Couldn't find anything using "lube" as a search term.
Thanks.

First, my response is based on RX300 and many years have passed.

For years, every thing is lubed for life.

One can spray on lube (check what is safe) on rubber parts if they squeek or to prolong the life (just make sure they do not attract grime)

edit note: Removed lubrication of propeller shaft as I need to confirm.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I didn't see the typical rubber boots or nipples for grease. Didn't know if Lexus had some special low profile nipples or something crazy like that. And if they did it would probably call for some proprietary grease at $100 per cartridge haha.
Regards
